2 kilograms prawns

2 large onion

2 tablespoon garlic paste

12 red chilli

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

10 clove

1/2 cup vinegar

4 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 large tomato

1 tablespoon ginger paste

1 tablespoon cumin seeds

2 inches cinnamon stick

2 tablespoon sugar

Method :

Step 1 De-vein prawns and season with salt

To prepare this scrumptious dish, in a bowl take de-veined prawn and clean it well. Season the cleaned prawn with salt and leave it aside for some time. Meanwhile, in a pan heat oil over medium flame. Once the oil is adequately heated, add in the de-veined prawns. Fry the prawns till they change colour. Turn off the heat and keep aside the prawns for further use.

Step 2 Dry roast the spices

Now, in a pan add red chillies, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cloves and cinnamon and dry roast them for about 5 minutes until they release an aroma. Once that happens, turn off the heat and let the spices cool at room temperature.

Step 3 Blend the spices with vinegar to prepare a paste

Next, in a grinder add the roasted spices with ginger and garlic paste along with vinegar. Grind the ingredients together to get a fine paste.

Step 4 Saute onions, tomatoes with the spice paste

Now, heat oil in pan. Once heated, add in it finely chopped onions and stir fry till they turn brown. Next add finely chopped tomatoes in the pan and fry for another 4-5 minutes. Mix in the prepared spice paste along with sugar and salt. Fry for about 5 minutes, till the time oil starts leaving the pan.

Step 5 Add prawns and serve hot

Finally, add in the fried prawns and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer into a serving dish. Your Prawn Balchao is now ready to be served.
